Rise in Child Trafficking in IDP Camps

Trafficking of children and persons has been a long standing issue in Nigeria. We ourselves have some children that have come to us through the NAPTIP Agency that fights against this.

With the more recent devastating attacks of the BkH in the North, North-East, the numbers of INP (Internally Displaced People) has risen drastically. Make shifts camps are being set up in multiple locations, many in Adamawa State. With information from various sources of ours in Nigeria, along with the following article’s claims, it is safe to say that morally corrupt individuals are taking advantage of the horrible situation going on in the North. Children who are coming into these camps, who have no parents, or extended family caring for them, are quickly identified and being sold out of the camps across Nigeria. Please pray for these children. And pray that if there is a way for us to help them or be involved that it would be made clear to us.

Current Country News

That least year has been an increasingly difficult on for Nigeria, with the continued uprising of the insurgent group BkH. We watchfully pray for wisdom from our leaders, peace among people, and love in actions. The death toll inflicted by the BkH over this last year has risen exponentially compared to the last several years. And in most recent times tensions are growing. Nigeria is facing a Federal election as I write this, and is currently in meetings whether to postpone the Feb14th election date for another 4-6 weeks.

Please pray for wisdom and courage from the leaders of Nigeria to step up and combat this evil facing it. Pray for unity, that people would set aside their differences and join together in love to create a peaceful and prosperous nation. Nigeria holds so much potential, we pray it will soon start to fulfill it.
